How to edit `install.img`
=========================

Introduction
------------

This HowTo describes how to extract, edit and rebuild the install.img
file of an SL6 release. This file is found in the distribution
toplevel `$basearch` directory e.g. in
`/afs/psi.ch/software/linux/dist/scientific/62/x86_64/images/` at our
site.  It is loaded during the installation and brings up the
installation process.

The reason to edit the `install.img` in this example is the file
`/etc/anaconda.repos.d/sl.repo`, which references the original SL repos,
i.e. the anaconda installer will try to get RPMS from these external
repos during the installation even if we declare our local repos in
the kickstart config file.  We want now that anaconda takes RPMS from
our local copies of the SL repos, because first the installation is
faster, second we do not depend on down times of the SL site.
